France coach Didier Deschamps has revealed the 25-man squad tasked with defending their title in Qatar. Raphael Varane is on board, despite the defender's recent injury problems, as is 36-year-old striker Olivier Giroud.
Experienced striker Giroud, recalled in March after a nine-month hiatus following the team's early Euro 2021 exit, has been in good form for AC Milan and France and is two goals shy of Thierry Henry's all-time national scoring record of 51 goals.
